(Devin Pitts, @DevinWxChase/Twitter)Since May 17, 225 tornadoes have been confirmed in an outbreak sequence that has been tormenting the country. With more than 400 individual tornado reports also logged by the National Weather Service since then, the number of confirmed twisters will probably grow. More than 45 twisters were confirmed on that day, but even the “quietest” day produced at least eight tornadoes. We're currently sitting at 500 filtered *eyewitness tornado reports* during this time period. Cumulative tornado reports 2011 2005-2019 2008 2,000 2017 2010 1,500 Avg.
